JohnG John, I really enjoy learning from your youtube videos. They are top notch. Remember me in Spartanburg when cypress collecting rolls around. I have permission on a few places around Columbia Dano

Just sprayed with Daconil. It is occurring more on the older needles first and when they die, it goes up the branch to the next set of needles. Thanks Dano

Ponderosa Pine Problem - Need Quick Help! I have a similar problem but see no insects. Please look at the attached photo and give me your ideas. The smaller branches are starting to die off. Attached is a photo of what the needle looks like as it is dying. I have tried a couple of multi-purpose...

Bubbafrga, Maybe you should send me some spanish moss from Darien to hang on the limbs! Dano

Martin, I am thing the double trunk cut down would have more possibilities. Thanks for letting me know about the bud back. See you in a couple of weeks at Randy's. Dano

A friend of mine has two cork bark elms for sale. One is straight as an arrow with little personality. Any suggestions on cutting it off above the lower left limb. Will it bud back well? The second tree is a twin trunk. Would you cut off one side? Open to suggestions before spending any money...

The reason for changing in about 6 months would be to avoid the Kanuma breaking down prematurely and root rot. I don't keep the azaleas in this mix all year, every year. I would normally change to something more solid such as Akadama, Turface MVP and bark chips. Does that make any more sense? I...

Shohin, I just finished removing all the flowers off my satzuki. I was reading your comments on another thread about bare root satzuki and soil. I certanly welcome your commnets. My large satzuki came in around the first of December. I potted it in Kanuma, Michigan Peat Moss and some small bark...

Duane, You are correct, the first satzuki is a Korin, the second is and Issho-no-haru. Thanks for the comments. I removed all the flowers today. With the exception of trimming wild shoots, I just plan on letting the satzuki's grow this year and get used to the South. Dano

Certainly not for the faint of heart. This is my first pic of two satzuki azaleas after 3 months in quarantine and four months of tender care. It took close to five months for the new leaves to come all the way to the top. Needless to say, I was worried and watched one twig each day to watch for...

I have always heard that a bonsai is never finished. This is true even in deadwood. It can be placed in mayn different landscapes. I wood like to see a deadwood forest!:eek: Dano

Email johngreen1@charter.net He has hundreds of seedlings at a great price. Dano

Duane, I really like the tree. I just finished a nice twin trunk Hynoki. A few limbs need to go.The pads are a little difficult to wire. I call it air wiring. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Dano:)

Thanks guys, I will consider your comments. The grass was dwarf mondo grass out of my front yard, moss might look better. I live near the mountains and rock outcroppings are common. This particular rock had character but may not be in the right setting if it is competing with the trees. Dano

I agree, I have some smaller trees to add and when I trim back hard, I will choose a focal point. Thanks for the suggestion. Dano

This has been one of my favorite trees over the last 12 years or so. It originally had one trident maple stuck in the bunch and I removed it. Although a even number of trees, it is really nice under the lights and in the fall. I know the front tree need its lower left limb to come off. Comments...

Someone told me once to not throw away anything (wire, soil, pots and even dead plants). I recently had a shimpaku juniper die after 30 years in my possession. It died over the winter and I have no clue as to why. Anyway, it was a beautiful tree and I decided to jin the entire tree and bleach. I...

What lens are you using? Dano

Thanks and will do. I wonder if I can paint over the old stuff? Dano

Daniel - If you don't mine my asking, what is your budget? Is it $15 or $200? That can help us guide you in the right direction. Thanks Dano

Thanks guys, I bought this product at a bonsai shop but it said Lime Sulpher Spray on the label. That is more than likely than not the problem. From what it sounds like from you guys, get get lime sulpher concentrate and water it down a little and apply. I will do that and let you know. thanks...

I need some help folks. This has been an ongoing problem with my jinned junipers. When I apply the lime sulfer on dead wood it looks more lime/green rather than white. Even after serveral weeks in the sun, the color remains a greenish tint. The trees have been properly prepare and dried a few...

The blooms came and went all to quickly. heavy rains knocked down some blooms but overall it was a beautiful display. I hope you enjoy.:) Dano

Night Shots Shohin, To the best of my knowledge the azalea is a Karenko. Take a look at a couple of night shots I took 30 minutes ago. Dano

Some of you guys asked that I post a few pics when my azalea began to bloom. We have been blessed with good rain in the south and the flowers are magnificient. I hope you find them enjoyable. Dano:)
